Fixed a crash with the moonstorm ground lightning. Fixed invisible Gift Wrapped items. Fixed Bundle Wraps from losing their skin information when cancelling the wrapping. Fixed Chester’s Woolly Chester skin. Fixed a crash caused by shaders not compiling for min spec hardware. Bearger Vest, Dapper Vest and Rain Coat are tradeable now. Deaths by bile will be recorded as the Misshapen Bird.
With the three lunar altars now complete, the truth at the center of this ancient mystery will finally come to light... They've been here all along.
Don't Starve Together: Return of Them - Eye of the Storm is now available for all players. With this conclusion of the Return of them Story Arc, worlds collide as old threats and familiar faces make themselves known.
As this chapter comes to an end, we are left to wonder to what end will Charlie's machinations bring our survivors. And what does she still have planned?
Major Changes:
Added Moonstorm Event
You're just going to have to see for yourself
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug causing stuff to drop off boats during lag or an autosave.
Lichen can now be fed to beefalo, pigs, ect.
Fixed a bug causing a crash if you hovered over the mole trail fx while holding the beefalo bell.
Fixed a bug causing the spawning time to not queue for a number of things (Wobster Den, Splumonkey Pods, ect) if they were offscreen when the spawn time finished.
Fixed a bug causing the Celestial Sanctum to have no mini map icon.
Greatly improved performance for worlds with lots of lights in the world.

And that's it!
The team has been hard at work on the next set of updates. In June we're going to see a couple of cool updates. A new summer event we're calling "The Midsummer Cawnival" and another character refresh. This next character refresh not many people are interested in, so we're not going to make a big deal of it. But if you want to be spoiled, I'll give you a little teaser work in progress art in the spoiler on the official forum at the very bottom. Can you guess who it is?
Hey everybody, "Eye of The Storm" the conclusion of the "Return of Them" season of updates is coming next week on May 5th at 10am PDT. Note that this is a Wednesday instead of our usual Thursday updates.
With that update we will have all our usual good stuff. New Skins, a new set of streaming drops and a login bonus you absolutely do not want to miss.
Twitch Drops
We will be adding the "Briny Salt Box" to the Nautical Collection. Our drops system has recently changed and only a select group of streamers will be able to offer skins. You can see a list of those that were selected on the official forums.

Notes for Modders: Recipes can now define "buildingstate" to specify which stategraph state the player will use when crafting that item
For worlds stuck in an infinite load We have identified the source of the problem and are working on a fix so it will not happen again. We also have a plan to automatically restore the worlds affected by this but it will probably not be ready until Monday. Until then, if you feel tech savvy, you can follow the instructions on the official forums to restore your worlds. And remember to backup your save files first. Thank you to everyone who provided bug reports on the issue.
Today we have our next character refresh! We also have some new skins and a new short. No foolin'!
Don't Starve Together: C'est La Vie
Some people just seem to attract more than their fair share of bad luck... and even those people are grateful they aren't Wes.
Last year Wes received a character refresh that was largely divisive among members of the community. While our intention was to give him the proper attention he deserves, we didn't sufficiently focus on changes that really emphasize the essence of who Wes really is.
Here are the details:
Wes now has a Balloonomancy crafting tab where he can inflate various types of balloons
Balloon - The same old balloons, now with a few more shapes
Speedy Balloon - An overly inflated balloon to help become lighter on your feet, but don’t let go!
Party Balloon - Gather some friends and pop these to host a small party
Inflatable Vest - Acts as a life jacket, preventing damage from falling in the ocean.
Balloon Hat - Just a little dapper with some rain protection, and completes your balloon outfit
Now has the lowest stats of all the survivors
Hounds waves will focus more on Wes than the other survivors.
Is more susceptible to overheating and freezing
Takes longer to recover from grogginess
Has a higher chance of being struck by lightning
Is less efficient at mining, chopping, and hammering
Tools and weapons used by Wes will not wear out as fast
No longer suffers from an increase in hunger drain
Removed the 100 balloon per world limit
New Skins!
Wes Deluxe Wardrobe ($10.99): The Deluxe wardrobe contains the Fool, Guest of Honor, Triumphant, Survivor and Roseate skins for Wes.
The Fool's Tool Chest contains skins for the Walking Cane, Top Hat, and Pan Flute. $3.99.
We thought that it would be appropriate to do a login bonus centered around how much everybody feels about Wes, so for a limited time, players that login during this time will receive nothing.
I can't get into details right now. But the team is working toward finishing the Return of Them arc. Obviously this means a lot of things and more info will come soon, but I thought it would be nice to reveal the hidden image from the roadmap. What is it? Who made it? Why does it matter? You'll find out soon.
Added a Klei Points counter and link to the Curio Cabinet
Dedicated servers will now store v2 mods in <install_directory>/ugc_mods/<ClusterDirectory>/<ShardDirectory> (ClusterDirectory and ShardDirectory are the values defined via -cluster and -shard respectively) should you wish to change this, you can add the command line argument -ugc_directory <path to directory to store v2 mods>.
